DiCaprio, Scorsese score in Paris

January 06, 2005

France honored "The Aviator" director Martin Scorsese, making him an officer of its Legion of Honor, and gave "Aviator" star Leonardo DiCaprio the slightly less prestigious Arts and Letters award. French Culture Minister Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres hailed Scorsese for his respect "for the rights of artists" and called DiCaprio the "Peter Pan of cinema" at a ceremony Wednesday.
